Suzuki sells 51 units of its big bikes in India

March 26th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Suzuki

Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd., which launched the Hayabusa and the Intruder in India in November last year, has already sold 23 units of the former and 28 units of the latter in the country.

The Hayabusa is the world’s fastest superbike while the Intruder is a cruiser-style machine, and both cost more than Rs 12.5 lakh, largely because of the import duties levied on foreign bikes in India.

Suzuki hopes to be able to sell a total of about 300 units of the two bikes by the end of this year. The company is also expected to bring in more machines from its sportsbike range, including the iconic GSX-R1000.
